Cinematography, music, commentary, voice, script, the unknown artist.... I give this documentary the oscars. it is a pity that such gems are buried under tonnes of garbage on the internet. The makers of this documentary, what you have created is not just a scientific documentary, it is a philosophical master piece too. It all depends on how you look at it. Just to quote : strings will remain out of our perception forever, but we can perceive the music created by the strings (a guitar artist plays in the background). I am sold.
I vote that this is now required viewing for every human being on Earth! A brilliant synopsis of the state of human insight into the nature of "reality".
It would be nice but it won't stop them from destroying whats left of this world. The Lord said if He didn't shorten the days NO FLESH would be saved! Maybe that's Y the days go so fast..😧
@@lannguyen-pu1db U have your uncorruptible body to look forward to. When U plant a seed it dies and comes up a different "body" ex: Plant ear of corn, a tomato seed ..same thing is gonna happen to our bodies (1Corinthians 15 chap.34-47) now where do U want to spend yr uncorruptible body.. read The Holy Bible KJV. But if that is too difficult (U do have to drink milk before U can eat meat), try Tyndale Living Bible to get some clarification. U have eternity to look forward to. U have a Living God that created this Universe to look forward to; a SPIRIT a GOD NOT MADE BY HANDS-NOT MADE OF WOOD OR STONE.
Here i am watching this awesome documentary again. In my opinion this is the best documentary series in it's class. And with a top rate musical score to boot
This video has nothing new. It could have been made 60 years ago. It is also terribly grainy. I was left wondering why anyone would spend money to make it
@@jamesraymond1158 this will be a re upload of probably something from a decade ago and it wouldn’t have been that grainy back then, i remember things like this on the tv years ago
The affecting range of tonga volcano eruption (14 jan 2022) has made me think about everything. This documentary just sums up the whole feeling. Well done!
@@humancorruption9718🌸 I have literally read this very sentence a few days ago in 'The Blueprint of the Structure of Existence". And it makes total sense too.
There is a huge error @ 46:42. It is talking about nuclear fusion within a star. Eventually it states that after the creation of carbon "no more reactions are possible" and "the star dies" creating a massive explosion "throwing off its elements". Well, that is not quite right. In a healthy star, the balance of this outward energy is exactly equal to the inward pull of gravity. When a star reaches a point where the next element to be created through fusion is iron it loses the outward push of the energy caused by fusion because, unlike the lighter elements, iron takes energy to create instead of creating it and now that outward push suddenly stops, gravity takes over and the star implodes in a fraction of a second. The energy level this creates allows for fusion of heavier elements such as gold or irridium, or platinum that are made in that tiny fraction of time. So the star does not just throw off its elements, it creates hundreds of new ones as it dies. This is an elementary tenet of physics and should have been presented in the monolog. It would only have taken a few sentences and would have explained the truth of the statement that "we are all made of stardust".
When you start seeing emergent properties in nearly everything that makes up everything it really puts into perspective a near infinite amount of possibilities.
I'm watching this over and over again as it's the best video to describe what goes on in my mind when to others I look like I'm derping out because I stare into nothingness daydreaming quite alot...
Hace cerca de 40 años atrás leí un libro acerca de este tema que abarcaba el conocimiento de lo microscópico hasta lo astronómico. Hoy vuelvo a maravillarse con imágenes más actuales que reafirman el conocimiento y se generan nuevas teorías. Hermoso trabajo y vamos por más con el lanzamiento ayer del telescopio espacial James Webb. Estamos viviendo un presente extraordinario.
English Translation: About 40 years ago, I read a book on this subject that covered knowledge from the microscopic to the astronomical. Today I marvel again at more current images that reaffirm knowledge and generate new theories. Beautiful work and we're going for more with yesterday's launch of the James Webb Space Telescope. We are living an extraordinary (present) time.🙂
Almost perfect. There are occasional scientific/factual inaccuracies (the script evidently didn't get a final edit for accuracy) but I'm okay with that. The writing is so lyrical, that it holds the attention of anyone with a sense of beauty, and isn't that everyone, scientist and layman alike? And speaking of lyrical... The music isn't mere pretty background, it is a gorgeous tapestry of sound woven into the journey fearlessly, sometimes reaching volumes that place it front and center, and then receding to give priority to the narration. This ebb and flow between between narration and music, interwoven with dazzling visuals, can't happen by accident. It takes artists and other creatives at the top of their game, working together under the direction of a master.
Coccolithophores are so cool! I found a plate from one on the side of a grain of sand once, thus proving the sand was marine in origin. We used a scanning electron microscope that I was being trained on at the time. It was a fun machine. Some things you can look at directly, but most things must be freeze dried and electroplated with gold. Other metals will work, but gold is best.
Life is continuous on all levels. Even on atoms. If you look at our universe we are living in the atoms of what ever we are making up. Just like the critters living inside and making up all of us. What a wonderful existence we are all apart of. I’m sure if we could see down far enough we would find life orbiting every neutron and electron.
The documentary belongs to the instrumental capacities of human's perceptions and hence the limitations …. rather author has lightly indicated towards the unlimited capacities of imaginations that the mother ' energy ' has boosted in her creations … The documentary is really appreciable .. and perfect .. in its limitations .. thanks with all the well wishes
at chronomark 33:55 the narrator says, "....the moon was once part of Earth itself" I hate when "scientists" present something as fact which is clearly speculation.
The Universe is so endlessly amazing. It's a wonder and a shame in a way we are born into it and only ever get to experience less than 1% of what's out there. It's like our entire existence is spent on a letter T... we're born, live, and die on this letter T never knowing we are actually on a letter that's apart of a word, that's further still in a paragraph, in a book, is a series so on and so forth. Still that letter T is more amazing than we could ever know or learn about. Maybe not the best analogy but life and discovery is something akin to that.
Janice Van Horn Plankton, and diatoms create more oxygen on this planet than all the rain forests combined. They are the TRUE lungs of the Planet Earth, and we are screwing that up too. Krill are the most efficient and constant ar sequestering CO2...and corporations are taking them out of the ocean to sell for aquarium and fish food And diatomaceous earth to kill bugs in such unsustainable quantities that krill is an “at risk” species. They call Krill, “Pink Gold”. The diatomaceous earth is taken from already dead diatoms. You might enjoy the book “Stung” by Lisa-Ann Gershwin, it is available as an ebook, and addresses the state of the World’s oceans as of last year, and projects where it is going. It begins with the massive jellyfish blooms happening and discusses the reasons for them, and the effects of them...but goes way beyond that. She writes in layman’s terms, so it is easily understood without a dictionary at your elbow. That book taught me a lot of things I didn’t know, and put a lot more into perspective. Cheers.🖤🇨🇦
Yeah, that blew me away. I haven't heard about that in any other documentary or interview anywhere. Why isn't this presented in all those programs that talk about the plankton blooms sucking the oxygen out of the water and killing marine life? I really don't understand that, with all the talk about global temperature shifts and saving the planet, this information isn't at the forefront of the debate. Since ocean warming creates more plankton and that increases the chemical release of cloud-forming molecules this is a self-perpetuating engine for global warming and yet there is not a word about it anywhere.
@@FloozieOne it's actually been mentioned in several documentaries and articles. It's a well known fact that ocean algae provides a large percentage of our oxygen but, banging on about carbon and deforestation makes money. 🤷♂️
Thank you for posting this very enjoyable and thought provoking documentary. I wish some of the most self centred folk in my life would watch it and absorb the fact that we as individuals are miniscule cogs in an almost inconceivable enormity. Yes we have an important role to play ( no more or less than Dust Mites) within the confines of our existence, but in the greater scheme of things our importance is practically nil 🙃. Probably the best 52 minutes I will spend today. Isn't 'Stuff' awesome?
Not really a fair comparison to make. mites will never build rockets and colonize space. and what exactly is defined importance? importance is just an opinion. but what humans are doing with their lives is a progression that nothing else in our observable solar system is doing. I personally think its important that we get off this planet and meet other intelligent life.
Why do i get the feeling that this doc was made solely for a wide varieties of stoners to watch n enjoy? Maybe because it's so good! Even with it's outdated info it still was a blast to experience keeping me hyped up till the end for some reason and kept elevating my thinking about our blindfolded human existence within this space-time cage of the multiverse.
A magnificent understanding & presentation of our presence here,in this tiny & yet,very important part of the universe.Thanks to every person that helped to create & present this great documentary for humankind.God Bless.
Incredible documentary! I have no words to describe how i feel about all the greatness that exists in and around us. I am, however, certain that this one reality extends way beyond human imagination will ever reach.
With all lenses created by man, to peek the smallest and the mighty large of the physical worlds, man still has no lense to peek into the worlds of souls. It really is for the benefit of mankind that this lense is forever denied.
I know and am saddened by the fact that BBC has now come to mean Buggering Britain's Children but growing up as a kid we had documentaries like this two or three times a week to watch and the education I got at school was pretty decent. I love to hear non English people appreciate the quality of BBC docs and I realize now how lucky I was. This might not be a BBC doc but it feels like one.
I had to laugh when my daughter came home from school after learning about atoms and said " dad, did you know our solar system looks like an atom" I said well it's a representation of what an atom looks like. She asked " are we an atom in a giant person"? I had to laugh!!
Very intelligent and wonderous question. I've always thought that the universe works based on scale. Look how much we can see when we zoom in. But it's much more difficult for us to zoom out and see the entirety. Stars/planets etc etc can be electrons spaced apart and they are all linked to create the structure of one giant living thing but we just cannot see it. That giant living thing could then be living on a planet which looks at stars which make up the entire structure of another larger living thing.
At roughly 13:40, is the young artist beautiful or what? Possessing a face that reflects what is truly the purest qualities of esthetic beauty, the envisioned artist becomes the subject of study. So is the cyclic interchangeable nature of perception itself. To be human is the rarest of gifts.
Good video, even though it is a rehash of information that everyone has know for decades! For those that don't know these things, this is a good place to start.
Re 3:21 It seems obvious to me, that no telescope can "reach the farthest reaches of the universe", but only to the current limits of our resolution & light-time of flight & red-shift. I presume there is no reason to suspect there are no galaxies beyond those farthest visible young-looking galaxies, that are currently much older than they look to us.
@~22:25 “when we look down on it, we see a series of trees…” “…and when we zoom out of the internet we see a series of TUBES” 🤨🤔🙄😜🤣🤣 We’ll never forget you, Senator Stevens…whether you like it or not! 🖖😎👍
This was spectacularly well done and narrated. Truly resonates with me. Pun 100% intended. How I've never found this channel before, I'll never know. Instant subscribe. Thank you.
I wanted each moment of the video expanded to reveal more detail, the entire narration made granular enough to encompass every thing known about everything, every subatomic particle of which I am composed and every cosmos of which I can imagine to unite, merge and become as one, single, unimaginable malted milk ball.
I thank you for this marvellous and very professional documentary! Congratulations to all of you who made it possible. It makes us realize how tiny we are in the very vast gorgeous and misterious Universe! :*
WOW, it just makes me wonder if the smallest is the equivalent of the largest...the smallest is a universe in itself...and everything that is energy is just different forms of life...
